About Lord's Tavern

Right next to the Grace Gate at Lord's cricket ground on St John's Wood Rd, Lord's Tavern is a pub serving a comfort-food menu alongside TV sport. A fixed lunch menu offers choices such as the Lord's cheese burger, fish & chips, or an Indian platter, each served with a glass of wine or a soft drink. The wider menu adds cod and chips, chicken Caesar salad, and kali dhal, though vegetarian options are limited. Multiple hand pumps run behind the bar, pouring Lord's Tavern beer and London Pride among others. Seating is available both indoors and outside. It operates on a walk-in basis, though reservations can also be made in advance, with tables set and ready on arrival.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the setting beside the cricket ground, especially as a lunch or tea stop after a Lord's tour, with several noting a reserved table was ready on arrival. The fish and chips and the cheese burger draw the warmest comments, with one calling the chips something special and another the best pub grub in a long while. The chicken Caesar salad and freshly baked bread with coffee also earn praise, and staff are repeatedly described as friendly. The recurring complaint is a limited menu, particularly for vegetarians. One vegetarian reports being told two suitable dishes were no longer served and the kitchen would not adjust others, while another received kali dhals instead of the veg burgers ordered and skinny fries that never arrived, which led to a refund. One Sunday lunch reviewer describes burnt gnocchi and roasts, a long wait with only three tables occupied, and a dismissive response from management. One visitor found the beer hand pumps switched off, and another says the front door needs WD-40.

    “Was treated to a Lord’s tour which included lunch at the Lord’s tavern. Don’t be fooled by the dated exterior inside was was nice and welcoming. Our reserved table was ready and waiting. Limited choice of meals but what we had was exceptional. I had cod and chips in brother in law had the burger. The chips were something special… I’ve never eaten chips served in this manner before. Top marks for the chef Probably the best pub grub I’ve eaten in long while. It was so nice we had coffee and dessert.”

    “After a memorable tour of lord went inti this modern pub and restaurants on Saturday 20th of June 2026. It is practically next door to Lords. we never made a booking and when we went there were only few people. we choose to seat inside as it was very warm day. Ordered ½ pint Lords tavern beer, light and nice, 1 Pimm’s pint, 2 veg burger ,1 kali dhal and 1 skinny fries. It cost us GBP 69.50. we were billed 2 kali dhals instead of 2 veg burger when I told them after checking the invoice he told me that he has told kitchen only 2 burgers ( price is the same for both) and skinny fries were not delivered till we finished our lunch and told him to cancel and give refund which he did. The restaurant and the food is good but very limited choice for vegetarian”

    “Rather modern pub next to the famous cricket ground. All the hand pumps for beer were off on the day I visited so Camden IPA had suffice whereas London Pride was my preference. Limited food menu, but the chicken Caesar salad was excellent. A non cricket playing day so plenty of seats available. Staff were busy with the custom that came in, but remained positive and pleasant.”
